DC-area art-punk quartet BRNDA are back with “Peach Pit”, the first song and lead single from their sophomore album Total Pain. Bandcamp listed it in their “New and Notable” releases (“The DC band bring a more somber outlook to their latest LP, but their synth-tinged art punk remains upbeat and catchy”) and Austin Town Hall gave the track a great review. As with their first album Do You Like Salt?, Total Pain was recorded by Justin Moyer at White Oak Studios (DC), and I mixed & mastered the album at Studio Windows (NYC). I was excited to be able to work with the group again, and I love how they’ve expanded and experimented with their sound on this one – it’s a fun one! Total Pain is out on LP, CD, cassette & digital on September 12 via Crafted Sounds.
